Samurai Warriors’ Naotora Ii to Join Dead or Alive 5 Last Round Cast

Some time back, Koei Tecmo announced that a new character would be coming to Dead or Alive 5 Last Round. Now, we finally know the identity of that new character.

In a recent live stream, Koei Tecmo revealed that Naotora Ii from their Sengoku Musou series will be joining the cast of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round as a guest character.

This isn’t the first time Dead or Alive has featured cameos from other franchises. Dead or Alive 4 included female Spartan Nicole, and Dead or Alive 5 previously introduced four Virtua Fighter characters.

In her home series, Naotora is the twentieth head of the Ii clan who wields weaponized boots into battle. This may hint at her gameplay being kick-centric when she makes her debut in arcades this March. In the meantime, here’s an archive of her debut.
